An Abrupt Matrimonial Offer.
Boston Budget.

DOStOu DuuS0t.
The following story concerning Bos ton
hotel man and his estimable wife comes to
the ears of the Saurterer and is an unique
col tributlon to hymeneal lore. The gentle
man is nothing if not severely practical in
many things. and notably in his opinion of
the matrimonial relation. When he made
up his mind to get married he took rather
short cut to the consummation of his deter
mination, and. addressing the lady by her
Christian name, voiced his proposal in the
following unique style: 81 consider mar.
rage a purely business transaction; there is
no love or nonsense about me; now, with
this understanding, will you marry me?"
Such frigid way of putting this all inn
portant query appreciably lowered the tenn
perature in that vicinity for few minutes
at least and the lady is not to be blamed for
the immediate mo" given in answer.
= Very WE'LL" said Mr.. Icicle, ''suit your
self" The lady, evidently regretting her
hasty negative Immediately retracted with
Yes. guess l will have you" and Cupid !,
having completed his task. packed his culver
and fastened to a warmer climate to get
thawed out, leaving 1.-TWO souls with but a
single thought, two hearts that beat as
well, as they always did, each humping
away on its own account.

war, rather than for her own speculation,
Notwithstanding her belief in the number.
After years of patient waiting she has been
assured by some of the best judges in the
state that she had chosen lucky number,
as it appears to-day that the goods which
this patent covers are of considerable value
A Pennsylvania manufacturer tells a story
of the inventor of multiple of rolls or
trucks used under the bottom of railroad
cars between the truck frame and bndy of
the car. The inventor became pressed for
funds and desired loan of 500 assigning
his patent for security. Out of sympathy
the manufacturer gave him the money. never
expecting, as he says, to ever get dime of
it back, and threw the patent papers aside
in his safe, where they lay undisturbed for
ten years. One day a lawyer of his ac-
quaintance called at his Office and inquired
if he eyer bought a patent on friction rolls
for railroad car. After rejecting mo-
ment he told him that about ten years be-
fore he had loaned an inventor some money
on car patent, but he didn't ever expect to
hear from it again. The lawyer told him
that this patent was being used on almost
every car now being built, and a large rev.
enue could be collected. Terms were soon
negotiated for collecting evidence of in
fringement; SO that the loaning of 500 to
help out the Distressed inventor brought
him more money than all his other business.

PETTED BY THE FAIR SEX.
The Romantic Life of Burglar in
Delaware Prison.

Delaware Prison.
WILMINGTON, DEL, May 25.-Charles
Blake, noted burgler, has been released
from New Castle Jail after serving SEN
tence of three years for house breaking and
robbery. Blake was large, well-propor-
toned fellow, of pleasing manners and a
pleasing conVersationlist. He seemed wholly
irresistible to the women with whom he
came in contact during his trial and impris-
onment and while he was incarcerated his
life was romantic.
Though it was known that he was a no
torions crook, after his conviction bogus
sister in the person Of a petite and cornely
young woman made an earnest appeal to
Gov. Stockly to have the corporal punish
ment,-.thirty lashes and an hour in the pill
lory-remitted. She pleaded on her knees
before the tender-hearted Governor and he
took from the courts sentence the public
punishment. The woman came and went
to and from the jail, carrying him delica-
cies and flowers, ornaments for his cell, brio
a-brac, furniture and carpet until the pris-
oner seemed like petted bird in gflded
cage. He ate the best Of food and his cigars
were the envy of his keepers OF this at
tention he soon tired, and the opportunity
presented itself for his escape, another
woman furnishing him with set of keys
that gave him liberty he came TO this city,
where he remained in hiding two days,
when he was apprehended by the police and
returned to his luxurious cell.
While here he sought the seclusion of the
house of another woman admirer, whose hus-
band was member of the police force, but
her infatuation for the jail-bird protected
him until he got drunk and recklessly
showed himself to the policeman. His al
legged sister, displeased at the unfaithfulness
of his act in escaping and not coming TO her
for protection, discarded him in part, but

of his cell. Miss Gussie Turner, of Philadel-
